Creating new Et.sy account

[MegPie]

I’ve gathered a tremendous amount of information regarding setting up a new Et.sy shop along with new PayPal account. The eBay stealth guide was so helpful but could only get me so far as eBay and Et.sy are completely different platforms. I’m beyond thankful for all the advice and discussions I was able to grab knowledge from in this forum and have just a couple of questions. I’ll start slow with just one for now:

I’ve come across the following suggestion a couple of times and just want to know more about the ‘why’ of it...

~Use real SSN and name for banking info but when Et.sy asks for account holders name use business/stealth name.

Ok. But why?

The bottom line would be:

SSN can be verified, and bank account holder not.

If you want to go Ets* stealth - EU based accounts is your go to option only. You can sell worldwide, just info to create account is EU based.
